Gladly had been leading our heroes around the beaches for quite a
long time now. They were getting tired, which is exactly what Gladly
wanted. If one of them dozed off, he could easily tuck in to an arm, or
even his favourite, a leg. Severus was dangerously close to dousing
Gilderoy is barbeque sauce.
"Are we there yet?" Gilderoy whined for the umpteenth time.
"Gilderoy," Andromeda explained, "We can't possibly be any farther than when you asked two minutes ago. Listen to your walkman."
"The batteries are out." Gilderoy whimpered in reply.
"Severus," Andromeda asked, turning to the Slightly Sunburned Snape, "Do you have any batteries for Gilderoy?"
"All the batteries are dead," Severus exclaimed, "Like my SOUL!"
Andromeda chose to ignore this. Sirius stepped on a twig, and it made a loud snap.
"What was that?" Remus asked, never having heard a twig make such a loud noise.
"I'll protect you!" Gilderoy said, pulling out something from his pocket. "I have my wand!"
"Gilderoy," Ramar said, skeptically, "That's a PEZ dispenser."
"We should be oh so close to the sea by now." Gladly said.
"We ARE by the sea!" Sirius yelled, "We're on a beach!"
"I stand corrected." Gladly replied, slowly realizing that these humans were smarter than he originally thought.
It was a sad looking spot of sand they were on just now. The sky was blackening quickly, and the last bit of sunlight was disappearing over the rolling waves.
Finally, the group came to a small dock, attached to which was a little rowboat, just big enough for their party.
"This boat will take us out onto the Sea of Silence." Gladly said.
"Are you sure it's not something like 'The Ocean of Obscenities'?" Sirius asked, sick of all these stupid names.
"Pretty sure." Gladly said, climbing into the boat.
When everyone was in the boat and their stomachs emptied (Gilderoy got sick from just SEEING the ocean, and triggered a series of vomiting) they pushed off the dock and headed into the unknown.
Ramar, getting pretty fed up about the size of the rowboat, quickly magicked it into a Cruise Liner, complete with a prison down below, where they strung up Gilderoy.
Andromeda had left the group inside the dining quarters, in hopes of getting some fresh air. She spent quite a few minutes just looking out onto the waves, wondering what was going on back at Hogwarts. Just then, she felt a presence behind her.
She turned to find Severus.
"Hello." Andromeda said. "Weren't you off brooding somewhere?"
"I've been wanting to speak to you about something." Severus said.
"Go ahead." Andromeda replied.
"Do you, by any chance," Severus started awkwardly, "Remember when we were in school together?"
Andromeda nodded.
"And," Severus continued, "We made that agreement to-..."
Severus kept talking, but nothing came out. Andromeda tried to respond, but nothing came out.
Hence the Sea of Silence.
Luckily, Gilderoy always carried around no less than 7 magni-doodles, so they were covered.
"How much farther out till we get to the beach?" Remus wrote to Gladly.
"I don't know, I'm just a bear." Gladly wrote back in loopy handwriting.
"I LK CHEEZ." Gilderoy wrote.
Severus hit him over the head with his magni-doodle. Sirius was having fun, drawing obscene gestures with his pen and repeating lines from Saturday Night Live's 'Celebrity Jeopardy'.
"I M SOE PRITTY!" Gilderoy wrote in a script that could have been a three year old. Severus hit him again, breaking the board, and sending magnet shards everywhere.

"Albus," Minerva exclaimed hastily, "What are we going to do? We sent in half our staff into Voldemort's hideout! They think they're finding the princess of muffins!"
"Wouldn't it be funny if Voldemort had kidnapped the princess of muffins?" Dumbledore chortled, playing with some Micro Machines.
"Albus!" Minerva replied. "That's not funny!"
"But it is!" Dumbledore said, laughing. "It would be SO bizarre?"
"But what about their lives?" she asked.
"Yes, cake would be nice." Albus said.
"Do you have selected hearing or something?" Minerva said, crossing her arms.
"No, I haven't seen X-men 2 yet, but I hear it's marvelous."

I am SOOOO sorry that took as long as it did. I thought it was posted up there, and then I got all confused, so here it is. The next chapter will be along within the days. So all of you who are sitting outside my door with cattle prods, you can leave. Please. -Jerri
